Support NeoGAF

[Polk]

I think this would make sense, especially if the game is fairly early in development. Would look so damn good with next gen systems as the baseline.

Could also see just a PC exclusive if Witcher 2 on 360 really was a bomba (which is disappointing, I'm having a blast with it on 360).

If it comes out in 2014 I'd expect it to be multiplatform out of the gate (not sure if both PS4/720 or just one of them as it mostly depends of the ease of programming and amount of available people).

 

[Ooccoo]

Can't wait, I get a Deus Ex vibe from this so it's good.

 

[bede-x]

This sounds good. A few pictures and a trailer wouldn't hurt.

 

[DiscoJer]

Holy crap. I was more of a Shadowrun fan, but I owned a lot of Cyberpunk stuff too. It was more realistic and gritty (even not counting magic in SR).

Unfortunately, if it's anything like the Witcher 2, my PC won't be able to run it...

 

[bengraven]

Maybe I'm just seeing what I want, but it sounds like it will be less linear than the Witcher games.

 

[radios shipping overview]

EDIT: Sorry, I think Fallout and Dishonoured are more "Steam Punk".

Haha, what? No, steampunk fans do not get to claim Fallout. They get Arcanum.

Anyway, best pre-E3 news so far, game of show, game of year, etc.

 

[Mindlog]

GAF has been done for a while, but I'm in. Where's the kickstarter?

 

[Dice]

Suddenly I have a new most-wanted game.

 

[Pinko Marx]

So is the official name of the game Cyberpunk? Because if so it tickles me to no end that there is a cyberpunk game coming out called Cyberpunk.

 

[Grisby]

I will pay an embarrassing amount of money for a 360 version. CD Projekt, hear my cry!

I think I'm with you on this. Witcher 2 was pretty good.

 

[Kaldea]

I know this game is far off so I won't let myself get too hyped about it. But wow, it's going to be awesome.

 

[codhand]

I won't let myself get too hyped about it.

What's your secret?

 

[Kaldea]

What's your secret?

Giant backlog and willpower.

 

[Confidence Man]

Thank god it's based on a pnp rule system. A mountain of skills and no action shooter combat (hopefully).

 

[Max]

This is all I want anymore

 

[Reuenthal]

I expect this to be a great game and enter my list of favorite games like Witcher 2 did

 

[AB12]

As long as it is not an First Person, am in.

 

[LOCK]

So fucking excited right now. Pre-E3 has turned out to be great.

 

[pakkit]

So fucking excited right now. Pre-E3 has turned out to be great.

I'm surprised we don't know everything Sony is doing for E3, like the past couple of E3s.

 

[JoeBoy101]

made some avatars from the faces if anyone wants them.

Yoink. Thanks!

 

[lucius]

Just copy the gameplay of Witcher 2 and I will buy day 1.

 

[bengraven]

Giant backlog and willpower.

I suppose a lack of details and media might help that, too.

I'm hyped, but not "can not function right now" hyped. Not "tell everyone about it" hyped. I'm just waiting to see more information; oh I know CDP can deliver, I'm not worried about that, but I know little to nothing about the game, so I can't really start to dream too big/realistically.

 

[Jarmel]

I'm not going to be too hyped about this till I see some gameplay footage. Can't wait till 2015.

 

[Gattsu25]

I haven't played the older Cyberpunk game(s)

I'm excited, though. CD Projekt are one of my fave devs and I like the cyberpunk genre.

 

[Mindman]

Sold.

 

[FStop7]

Rigid boner. Diamond hard.

 

[Router]

I was lookingforwaed to a cyberpunk game... I had no idea it would be the cyberpunk game!

Very hyped right now.

 

[SparkTR]

Most of that increase is probably the PC version, given the huge, week and change sales spike it had at the EE release. Last numbers I heard for the 360 were 250k worldwide out of a shipment of 500k. Not stellar, but I have no clue if they expected more.

They projected estimates of 1 million copies for the 360 version I believe.

 

[Reg]

I'm very excited about this.

 

[Bisnic]

Well, you were hyped for Mass Effect 3 when you had plenty of screenshots and videos and look what it got you. It's Cyberpunk, made by CD Projekt. If you're not choking on excitement yet, I don't know what to tell you.

(I'm not 100% serious)

I know what you're saying, but despite the shitty ending and a bottomless list of bugs, i was still satisfied (not nearly as much as i hoped of course). Hell, i'm still playing the multiplayer mode nearly 3 months later and dont see myself stopping soon with the new DLC they keep adding.


Still... can't wait to actually see that Cyberpunk game in action with graphics as good or even better than Witcher 2! Hopefully we'll get those screenshots/videos this year.

 

[j0hnny_385]

Great news, but that gif is retarded. enough. I'm tired of seeing it.

don't hate. it's all in good fun.

 

[Anth0ny]

A mature RPG for a mature gamer such as myself?

Day one!

 

[WorstUsernameEver]

So is the official name of the game Cyberpunk? Because if so it tickles me to no end that there is a cyberpunk game coming out called Cyberpunk.

No, the press release mentions it as a "new triple-A game based on the cult classic Cyberpunk® pen & paper RPG system created by Mike Pondsmith". In other words, it's still untitled.

 

[Salsa]

and now this is pretty much my most awaited game ever, jesus

 

[OdysseusVA]

EDGE, along with other sites, are running with that name lol

 

[Fjordson]

Been listening to Vangelis all day. Too bad this is probably really far out =[

 

[Sentenza]

Ha. Naming your RPG after a genre. It's like making a movie with cowboys and indians and calling it "Western". That's not how originality works...

This post reads almost like a parody in my mind.

 

[WorstUsernameEver]

Originality at all costs seems like a pretty weird value to me. Cyberpunk strikes a balance between new and familiar, being an underused genre in videogames, but also featuring proven themes and aesthetic, which people have resonated with in the past. They've got a pretty decent license that offers them a baseline for the setting (as The Witcher) and also for the ruleset (which is a big plus considering CD Projekt is still not that great on that side), and it seems like it plays to their strengths and allows for a variety of stories to be told in it.

I mean, ultimately every opinion is legitimate, but I'm not really sure how this announcement can be singled out for a lack of originality or a disappointing setting choice.

 

[alazz]

This is probably more exciting than E3, and reading over Cyberpunk's wikipedia article has only made me more giddy.

Oh man this should be so good.

 

[Leckan]

My dream game right here.

 

[Nessus]

Still don't think really creepy/uncomfortable polygonal sex scenes constitute as "mature".

 

[Cystm]

Oh, holy shit yes. Yesssss. YES.

 

[patapuf]

Still don't think really creepy/uncomfortable polygonal sex scenes constitute as "mature".

It's also really not why people say that the witcher games are mature. Have you played them?

 

[subversus]

another person who hasn't played The Witcher games for more than 3 hours.

/yawn

also their sex scenes aren't creepy

 

[iavi]

Still don't think really creepy/uncomfortable polygonal sex scenes constitute as "mature".

So, just by the nature of games being games, does it mean the sex scenes can't be 'mature' (I'm already starting to hate the use of that) or tactfully directed?

also their sex scenes aren't creepy

.

I can give someone TW1's immaturity, maybe - them cards, but TW2 handled it much better. And creepy just doesn't fit.

 

[tetrisgrammaton]

between this and smt4, yesterday was a pretty amazing day for rpgs

 

[Perkel]

Cyberpunk !

 

[Sentenza]

Still don't think really creepy/uncomfortable polygonal sex scenes constitute as "mature".

Every time someone throws around this argument, it mostly reads like "I'm uncomfortable with sex so seeing a love scene makes me feel dirty" or something like that, to me.

Beside, as others already stated, that's not really what makes people say that The Witcher had a mature mood.

 

[nib95]

Super hyped. CD Projekt are a phenomenal dev team imo.

 

[subversus]

sex scenes in Bioware games can be.... creepy. edit: more awkward than creepy though
